A little late on the upload, but last month's lab group #TidyTuesday used the Dungeons and Dragons spells dataset. My contribution takes a look at how different schools of magic are distributed across different character classes and different "range types".

A new semester means a new round of Sparks Lab TidyTuesday on a Wednesday! This month, one of our students picked the #TidyTuesday Pokémon dataset to visualize. This was my contribution, which explored median stat distributions by primary type. Really fun dataset and a great group exercise!

Any R people over here on BlueSky? The Sparks lab had the first #TidyTueday of the year, and student choice was a Taylor Swift themed data set. This was the viz. I came up with (expand for best view).

Plot shows general increase in Metacritic scores of TSwifts albums, with cover color palettes.
